Abstract

Application of data and information to solve municipal infrastructure problems and enhance system operation is the ultimate key to a successful geographic information system (GIS) program. This paper highlights a number of application issues to be considered in developing GIS application packages used in the planning, design, operation, and management of water resource and utility infrastructure systems. Some areas that require standardization in the application of GIS are also addressed.
